Chapter 397: Checking In

After seeing the entire Xizhou city defense, Zhang Zheng fell into deep thought. It is impossible for Xu Jingzong not to know these things, but so far, Datang has actually controlled Xizhou for nearly four months.

And Xu Jingzong still turned a blind eye to these things. Is it because he has absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, or is it because of something else?

At least Zhang Zheng didn't have that self-confidence, and he would definitely be able to resist the offensive of the coalition forces of the Western Regions. The north of Xizhou is the end of the country, the west is Gaochang, and the south is Qiuzi, and the strategic position of the bridgehead of the Western Regions is destined to recapture the Western States at all costs.

Although the countries of the Western Regions are not large, as the saying goes, if there are more ants, they can bite elephants to death. There are dozens of countries in the Western Regions that can be named, such as Gaochang, Qiuzi, Kangguo, Shiguo, etc., all of which are large countries with tens of thousands of troops.

Even if a country sends a thousand soldiers, it can casually gather an army of 350,000. And on the Tang side, even if you add the 3,000 bandits brought by Zhang Zheng, there will be 8,000 people when you are full.

The difference in numbers is nearly five to eight times, even if the Tang Army's combat strength is strong, but after all, Datang is on the defensive side this time.

In addition, there is also a Western Turk eyeing the side, and with the near-no city defense of Upper Western Prefecture.

Well, to sum up, the sense of urgency in Zhang Zheng's heart became more and more obvious. Military power must be in hand.

Easily pinched the aging and cracked masonry in his hand into pieces, and Zhang Zheng walked down the city wall of Wengcheng with his hands.

And Saye Chu didn't say a word since he was lightly beaten by Zhang Zheng.

"Go and find out the details of the Tang Army generals stationed in Xizhou, from Jiang Gan down to Guoyi Du Lieutenant and even the officers at the level of Wu Chang, their preferences, their origins, what is the relationship between the court and the central government, and how many people in the family, etc., I want to see all these before the curfew tonight, in addition, bring my name post, and invite a subordinate official of Xizhou City to come to the county Bofu for a banquet tomorrow, and say that Ben Bo moved to a new home, well, including Xu Jingzong and Jiang Gan." After getting off the city wall, Zhang Zheng lightly instructed Chen Yu, who was not leaving an inch behind him.

"The former Xizhou City Guard is not bullying......" Chen Yu's voice was a little hesitant, and he was a little uncertain about this person.

Zhang Zheng paused, frowned and said, "I said, invite all the officials of Xizhou to the banquet, I don't want to repeat it again......"

"Yes." After getting a definite answer, Chen Yu called a few guards to arrange it a little. These little things don't need him to run errands himself.

Coming to the gate of the county mansion that Xu Jingzong built for himself, Zhang Zheng looked up and couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

If he hadn't brought those 3,000 bandits, this county would have been a prison under house arrest.

However, it's not all useless, at least this county mansion looks more luxurious than the mansion in his own Weinan County.

Taking out the key that Xu Jingzong had given him, Zhang Zheng pushed open the door of this mansion located on the northwest border.

Zhang Zheng walked around it casually with his hands behind his back, not bad, the courtyard of Sanjin is not big, but its luxury is a must.

Not to mention anything else, Xu Jingzong is still very caring, and even the dry firewood in the firewood room is ready, including kitchenware and grain.

Checking in with a bag saved Zhang Zheng a lot of trouble.

"Arrange a few people to pick up Madame." After reading the furnishings in the house, Zhang Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

I don't know how long I can stay in Xizhou, since I can prostitute a mansion for nothing, why not do it?

What's more, even if Xu Jingzong doesn't prepare this mansion for Zhang Zheng, Zhang Zheng himself needs to find a comfortable house.

After all, Cui Shu still has a villain living in her belly. is about to become a father, Zhang Zheng can't give his unborn child a peaceful environment, but these must have hard conditions, Zhang Zheng still has to find a way to prepare.

Chen Yu's work efficiency was very fast, and Cui Shu, who had a big belly, soon took a low-key carriage to the door of the county uncle's mansion.

"Didn't you see Madame arrive, take off the threshold! A bunch of things that don't have the eye to see. Before Cui Shu got out of the car, Zhang Zheng shouted at the guards on both sides with his throat in his voice.

Cui Shu, who was about to get out of the car, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle when she heard this. said coquettishly: "Uncle is such a big official, the little woman can't afford such treatment." It's just that Cui Shu said this, but she quickly withdrew the foot that had stretched out of the carriage into the carriage.

After unloading the threshold, the carriage smoothly entered the gate of the county mansion. And Cui Shu got out of the carriage and showed the majesty of a wave of housewife.

In Chang'an, Cui Shu can only be ranked third in the county uncle's mansion, whether it is a princess or a little green dress, in the eyes of the subordinates of Weinan, she is more majestic than her, a nameless and worthless lady.

But in the West State, she is the only housewife. A cadre of guards was commanded by her to move around, one moment to add a few maids, and the other time the layout of the room was unreasonable.

Zhang Zheng followed her with a smile, and didn't interject when he saw this chaotic scene, just followed silently.

After running on the road for several months, this woman has suffered too much with herself. When she was in the academy, Cui Shu had to hold her husband's shelf.

In the county uncle's mansion, she is not as good as a princess in terms of identity, and she is not as good as a little green dress in terms of qualifications. When you encounter something, you can only bury it silently in the bottom of your heart.

Now that there are no restraints, since she wants to do whatever she wants, it's up to her. Woman, just ten months, even if she wants to chop this mansion as firewood, Zhang Zheng will only smile and hand her a fire fold.

After tossing for several hours, Cui Shu looked at the two rows of exotic maidservants in front of her, and she didn't like it.

Seeing that Cui Shu seemed to have to change a batch, Zhang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and said helplessly: "Whew, it's almost okay...... bar. We don't really want to settle down in Xizhou. ”

"Why not settle down in Western State?" Cui Shu turned around and asked with a smile. It's just that when he saw the tired look on Zhang Zheng's face, he said unsatisfied: "Okay, then let's do this first, and then change it after a while, this is a maidservant, and it has to be a Han family girl who will serve people......"

"Ah, yes, yes......" Zhang Zheng raised his hands in surrender, causing Cui Shu to roll her eyes for a while. After a day of tossing, the sky gradually got dark.

Under the guards, the people began to get busy in this strange county mansion, and began to prepare everything for Zhang Zheng's banquet tomorrow.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Zhang Zheng and his wife. Because Zhang Zheng had already fallen asleep with his beautiful wife in his arms.
